Though small and gentle, young Krishna had great wisdom bestowed upon him by Lord Vishnu. In those days, Krishna lived in Vrindavan. Each year, the people there made offerings to Indra, the fierce ruler of clouds and rain, hoping to soothe Indra’s temper. Krishna clearly recognised that Indra was neither generous nor sincere; he was selfish and arrogant, unworthy of respect.
To teach Indra a lesson, Krishna addressed the people. “Indra is a bully we need not serve. Instead, it makes more sense to worship Govardhan, our mountain that supports us. Let us honour kind Govardhan, who selflessly shares her lush forests and urges the clouds to shower us.” The people approved Krishna’s solution.
Indra flew into a mighty rage. “These farmers ignore me to worship a mountain on the advice of a child? I shall severely punish this insult,” he thundered. Indra ordered the clouds to send furious winds and driving rains to Vrindavan. The tempest terrified the people, who fearfully sought help from young Krishna.
With supreme calm, grace, and power, Krishna lifted Govardhan into the air using only the little finger of his left hand. He steadfastly held the mountain like an umbrella, protecting Vrindavan for seven stormy days and nights.
Finally, Indra acknowledged his error. He halted the storm and deeply apologized to Krishna. Thus did humans learn not to give in to a disaster.
